论文摘要
在本文中，我们描述了从配备简单的机器人特定HTML注释的网站中生成聊天机器人的基础。该方法是我们称之为对话网络浏览的一部分，即基于对话框的自然语言与网站的互动。目标是使用户通过“与网站交谈”而不是使用键盘和鼠标操作图形UI来使用渲染UIS访问的内容和功能。聊天机器人在用户和网站之间进行调解，代表用户操作其图形UI，并告知用户交互状态。我们描述了概念性词汇和注释格式，支持对话的中间件和技术以及演示的实现，能够通过Amazon Alexa提供对话性网络浏览体验。
In this paper, we describe the foundations for generating a chatbot out of a website equipped with simple, bot-specific HTML annotations. The approach is part of what we call conversational web browsing, i.e., a dialog-based, natural language interaction with websites. The goal is to enable users to use content and functionality accessible through rendered UIs by "talking to websites" instead of by operating the graphical UI using keyboard and mouse. The chatbot mediates between the user and the website, operates its graphical UI on behalf of the user, and informs the user about the state of interaction. We describe the conceptual vocabulary and annotation format, the supporting conversational middleware and techniques, and the implementation of a demo able to deliver conversational web browsing experiences through Amazon Alexa.
